(Xewtpo Eaterprie.) '
The Committee on Education
ia the House his made f ator
vble report by unanimous vote
otheJojner bill intended to
proTkle six-months schools in
all districts in North Carolina.
The plan of raising the money,
13 we understand it, is about as
follows: The $100.10) from the
State treasury which has hereto
fore been apportioned to coun
ties needing assistance in pro
Tiding four months schools and
another $.a0 will be added to
the tirst ifl-j.OOO and the total
$2j0,0W will be divided anions
the counties on a per capita ba
sis. After this distribution, all
counties which have not suffici
ent funds for four -months
schools will have to raise the re
quired amount by special taxes,
before they can participate in
the division of the fund to be
provided for increasing the
schools to six -months terms.
This fund will be raised by set
ting apart ." cents of the taxes
on the $100 from the State tax
es, and this fund is estimated at
$370,000. It will be divided a
mong the counties on the basis
of teachers' salaries. Compul
sory attendance will be required
for four months, the county
school boards designating the
four mohths for compulsory at
tendance. An attendance officer
for each township will be ap
pointed to enforce the law. lie
will, after three days notice,
prosecute all parents and guar
dians before a magistrate or po
lice officer who fail to require
all children between H and 12
years old to attend school dur
ing the four months designated
by the school board.
There is one amendment we
would suggest. Require the
schools to lie run six days in a
week instead of live. Tho$;!70,
000 additional funds would give
an increase of 40 days by this
plan but it would not give more
than 20 or "25 by the present
five-days a week plan.
Counties That Draw on the State
For School Funds.
(Statesville Landmark.)
Fifty- five counties share in
the distribution of the second
$100,000 appropriated by the
State for assuring to every
county a four-months minimum
term of public schools. In mak
ing the distribution only $'.)'2,r00
is actually used, only this a
mount being necessary after the
counties have met the condi
tions in doing what they can to
assure the maximum term. The
following counties in this sec
tion of the State draw money
from the fund:
Alexander $3,714, Alleghany
$3, 364, Ashe $4,5:13, Burke $1,
252, Caldwell $3, 70b, Catawba
$1,670, Cleveland $1,477, Davie
$1, 434, Lincoln $,542, McDowell
$1, 134, Mitchell $2,230, Ran
dolph $732, Rutherford $747,
Watauga $1,798, Wilkes $4,501,
Yadkin $3,670, Yancey $2,529.
Open The Way.
(Charlotte Observer,)
In all seriousness The Obser
yer hopes the Legislature will
see its way clear to making wom-
eligible to serve on school
)ards. T.tys paper has advo-
ited this action not from rea
ms oi sentiment, but as a move
.ill-riKulfc in material ben
efit to the public school system
'of helState. Hy training and
instinct, as well as by equip
ment, woman has the right to a
voice in school affairs and should
be given this recognition. The
"Women are peculiarly qualified
in the needs pfthe children and
in many matters their sense of
discernment is superior to that,
of some men who have wielded
Influence on the school boards.
There Js a place on the educa
tional boards for woman. The
way to this new field of uselul
ness should , be opened to her
Without frivolous objections.

RtTtaat Free Doc Tax.
(Gretas bo n Kea.)
Speaking of longer school
terms and revenue producing,
listen to this from the Madison
Herald:
Moore county last year col
lected $1,800 from the dog tax,
the money going to the schcol
fund. We do not know what
the rate per head is in Moore
county, but it is probably $1.
Rockingham should have a law
of this kind and at a dollar a
head we feel sure at least $3,000
could be raised each year for
the county school fund. Be
sides this, we would get rid of a
lot of worthless curs, and no
body would object to paying a
dollar tax ou a good dog provid
ed the money was to go into the
school fund.
If all the dogs in North Caro
lina were taxed for the benefit
of the school fuud, the counties
would find little difficulty in ad
ding several days length to the
school term. A state wide dog
law would give considerable aid
to the state and couuties in these
days of deficits
Houn' Dog' Vote.
Charlotte Observer.)
The press of North Carolina is
solid for a State dog tax. If it
dot's not represent the jvople in
this position, then North Caro
lina's press and people are even
further apart than South Caro
lines, so far as one universally
discussed question is concerned
The Farmers' Unions of the
State have been passing dog tax
resolutions; and the State organ
ization as a whole stands com
mitted to the step. If there re
main any people content with
the stage of human civilization
typified by the houn' dog, they
are such as neither read nor
write for newspapers nor yet
affiliate with organized better
ment on the farm. We do not
question that these jH'ople exist;
but we do question whether they
now muster sufficient numerical
strength to warrant even very
timid legislators in further neg
lecting an undoubted need ol
the StiUe.
To Prevent Accident.
Exhibited to railroad men here
recently was a device for throw
ingand closing switches which
promises, if put in use, to make
a substantial decrease in the
number of deaths and injuries
each year as a result of open or
split switches. The device
shown here makes such a thing
as an open or split switch im
possible. Directly attributable
to accidents from this source
last year were 15,000 deaths and
injuries.
It is so constructed as to make
it impossible for the switch to
be open unless a train is in mo
tion over it. As a labor saving
device it abolishes the old prac
tice of brakemen opening and
closing the switch for the train
to pass to and from the main
line. It is because of failure to
close switches and leaving the
main line open, that some of the
most fatal railroad accidents of
the country have been due.

This is the season of the year when
mothers feel very much concerned
over the frequent colds contracted by
their children, and have abundant
reason for it as every cold weakens
the lungs, lowers the vitality and
paves the way for the more serious
diseases that so often follow.
Chamberlain's Cough Kemedy is
famous for its cures, and is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by all
dealers.
It is strange that in Rose Bon-

MRS. McGILL
. BROKE DOWN
Gives the Real Facts In Regard to
Her Case and Tells How She
Suffered.
Jonesboro, Ark. "I suffered a com
plete break down In health, some time
ago," writes Mrs. A. McGIIl, from this
place. "I was very weak and could
not do any work. I tried different
remedies, but they did me no good.
One day, I got a bottle of Cardul. It
did me so much good, I was surprised,
and took some more.
Before I took Cardul, I had headache
and backache, and sometimes I would
cry for hours. Now I am over all that,
and can do all kinds of housework. I
think lt Is the greatest medicine on
earth."
In the past fifty years, thousands of
ladles have written, like Mrs. McQlll,
to tell of the benefit received from
Cardul.
Such testimony, from earnest women,
surely indicates the great value of this
tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar to
women. Are you a sufferer? YesT
Cardul Is the medicine you need.
We urge you to try It.
